FanStory.com - Flummoxed by Faithby zanya

Most of the major religions of the world require a modicum of Faith, i.e belief in a Supreme Deity.

Such belief today seems to invite ridicule or trolling in equal measure.

Yet humans live by faith, maybe not the deity type faith, but faith nevertheless.

Consider just a few zones where we live by faith today:

*faith in our phone:
-our lifeline to the world for work, study, fun, love.

*faith in our money:
- it absorbs most of our waking hours earning it and tortures us with sleepless nights fretting about it.

*faith in our family & friends:
-So vital to our wellbeing, we are careful to cultivate them , socialise with them.

* faith in our car /bike
- often quite a big dollop of faith needed in keeping this mechanised god purring.

* faith in our good looks to find a mate
- vital to ensure continuity of the species !

These are but a few areas of life where we invest our faith quotient.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If we lose faith in any or all of the above we're flummoxed.

God could be said to sit atop all of these.
****************************************
NO, say the non-believers & agnostics. It's all down to our own blood,sweat & tears.
YES, say the believers. Without God we would have nothing.
===============================
is Faith some sort of gift like a musical talent or sex appeal?
That's why I'm still flummoxed by Faith.
